Hey folks, kinda new to the whole car world (but damn they are fun to work on), and having a problem with the ignition for my brat. the voltage regulator fried and i got it back to my house by disconnecting the alternator and wiring the fuel pump direct to the battery (with switch and fuse). so i could still get it to run in this fashion, but once i got a new voltage regulator and installed the bugger, the darn thing wouldnt even turn over. not sure what i did between unplugging the old and plugging in the new one that would cause such a problem, but would love some advice.
